"Judge O’Connor’s claim to the contrary is the equivalent of saying that your 2017 tax cut isn’t valid because the 2010 Congress also enacted a tax bill, and wouldn’t have included your tax cut there.”New York Times

Many note that “voters have come around on Obamacare in part because they’ve started to see what it really is: an effort to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, in part by shifting some costs onto healthier and higher-income Americans — instead of the ‘government takeover’ of healthcare that its critics ludicrously claimed it to be….

"And in a sign of how far we’ve come since Obamacare took full effect in 2014, premiums at the state insurance marketplaces stopped their sharp climb this year. In fact, the average premium for the typical comprehensive policy will drop slightly in 2019.”LA Times

“In the 2018 election, Democrats across the country highlighted the GOP’s attempts to do away with Obamacare’s consumer protections, and it paid dividends as the party won 40 House seats. Health care ranked as the most important issue to Americans by a nearly two-to-one margin, and those who cited it preferred Democrats to Republicans by a striking 52-point margin.”Bloomberg

“The Texas ruling against Obamacare is a boon to Medicare-for-all… Nearly a decade of constant and cynical assault on what was supposed to be a compromise bill has pushed the Democratic Party left on health care policy… with Obamacare under constant threat, Republicans have refocused Democrats on building what they failed to build in 2010… some version of Medicare-for-all.”Vox

From the Right

The right points out Obamacare’s many flaws, but is skeptical that this lawsuit is the best alternative.

“Forcing everyone to pay for top-heavy policies loaded with so-called ‘essential’ benefits – but including high deductibles and narrow networks of health-care providers – doesn’t work. No one in the health-care sector is happy with the current ObamaCare plans – not doctors, patients, hospitals or insurers.”Fox News

“Obamacare led to years of increasing costs and decreasing choices. Premiums doubled in the first four years of the program. Millions lost the coverage they used to have. Americans found it harder to pick the right plan and doctor, as health plan choices declined and provider networks narrowed…

Regarding the ruling, many note that “Obamacare has become fairly popular with the electorate. Health care seems to have been a winning issue for the Democrats in the recent elections. If the judiciary were to overturn Obamacare — meaning no more ban on denying coverage due to preexisting conditions, for example — Republicans might suffer the political consequences in 2020.”Power Line Blog

“Millions of people now rely on ObamaCare’s subsidies and rules, which argues against judges repealing the law by fiat… In any case, the Supreme Court’s ‘severability’ doctrine calls for restraint in declaring an entire law illegal merely because one part of it is…

“[The Trump] administration has done good work revising regulations to reduce health-care costs and increase access, but the risk is that the lawsuit will cause Republicans in Congress to panic politically and strike a deal with Democrats that reinforces ObamaCare. This is what happens when conservatives fall into the liberal trap of thinking they can use the courts to achieve policy goals that need to be won in Congress.”Wall Street Journal
